Answer provided by our tutors

Let


x = the money invested in 7% bonds


y = the money invested in 9% bonds


Nancy inherited 600,000 and invested it in bods which pay 7% and 9% simple interest:


x + y = 600,000


The annual interest from the two investments is 49,200:


0.07x + 0.09y = 49,200


By solving the system of equations:


x + y = 600,000


0.07x + 0.09y = 49,200
